that_o the_o main_a different_a sect_n of_o religion_n in_o the_o east_n and_o the_o fierce_a opposition_n they_o make_v each_o against_o each_o make_v the_o people_n weary_a of_o the_o christian_a

english_a man_n may_v build_v his_o faith_n on_o be_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o leave_v he_o but_o his_o english_a translation_n so_o the_o old_a church_n after_o malachi_n what_o be_v leave_v to_o the_o most_o but_o the_o greek_a translation_n and_o after_o the_o apostle_n be_v dead_a and_o go_v the_o christian_a church_n be_v tie_v to_o the_o greek_a translation_n of_o the_o old_a

to_o be_v doubt_v but_o all_o the_o learned_a i_o think_v agree_v that_o the_o church_n use_v no_o translation_n but_o the_o greek_a for_o a_o matter_n of_o six_o hundred_o year_n after_o the_o birth_n of_o christ_n for_o two_o hundred_o year_n before_o so_o that_o for_o my_o part_n i_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o position_n full_a of_o danger_n for_o man_n to_o affirm_v that_o translation_n be_v not_o a_o rule_n to_o ground_v our_o faith_n on_o when_o we_o understand_v no_o other_o that_o say_v i_o or_o none_o not_o none_o therefore_o that_o and_o now_o at_o last_o after_o the_o clear_n of_o what_o be_v past_a we_o come_v to_o the_o main_a point_n to_o find_v out_o what_o it_o be_v that_o a_o poor_a soul_n who_o understand_v not_o the_o original_n must_v rest_v upon_o first_o i_o say_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o nor_o will_v not_o be_v want_v to_o his_o church_n in_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o to_o have_v a_o rule_n to_o build_v our_o faith_n on_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o that_o rule_n for_o common_a people_n must_v be_v the_o scripture_n translate_v or_o nothing_o and_o therefore_o i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v a_o special_a ordinance_n that_o the_o scripture_n shall_v be_v translate_v for_o the_o use_n of_o the_o church_n in_o several_a language_n 37_o for_o the_o original_a copy_n i_o must_v subscribe_v to_o that_o of_o ganus_n a_o papist_n who_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o receive_v into_o the_o holy_a canon_n both_o for_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n but_o such_o book_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v allow_v and_o deliver_v over_o to_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o as_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n do_v preserve_v the_o hebrew_n original_a of_o the_o old_a testament_n safe_a and_o sure_a so_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o same_o hand_n of_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n have_v and_o do_v preserve_v the_o greek_a original_a of_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o for_o that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o the_o original_n shall_v serve_v the_o turn_n of_o all_o or_o immediate_o of_o any_o but_o of_o such_o as_o have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o those_o tongue_n who_o be_v but_o a_o poor_a few_o in_o respect_n of_o all_o the_o world_n over_o wherefore_o i_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o the_o line_n of_o god_n providence_n have_v and_o do_v and_o will_v carry_v the_o matter_n in_o have_v translation_n of_o several_a language_n so_o inti●e_n as_o to_o be_v a_o sufficient_a rule_n to_o ground_v their_o faith_n else_o god_n in_o his_o providence_n must_v needs_o be_v want_v in_o provide_v necessary_n for_o his_o church_n nor_o do_v i_o think_v that_o there_o be_v or_o ever_o shall_v be_v a_o church_n of_o christ_n or_o a_o church_n of_o christian_n in_o the_o belly_n of_o antichrist_n but_o have_v have_v translation_n sufficient_a to_o rest_v their_o soul_n on_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o vulgar_a for_o all_o its_o fault_n have_v sufficient_a for_o the_o save_n

there_o be_v translation_n and_o those_o exact_a too_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o popery_n and_o if_o so_o than_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v the_o visible_a church_n to_o be_v without_o a_o sufficient_a

prophet_n own_o hand_n those_o be_v not_o then_o extant_a nor_o when_o extant_a to_o be_v see_v of_o everybody_o what_o then_o when_o he_o bid_v they_o search_v the_o scripture_n he_o must_v needs_o

the_o greek_a translation_n which_o the_o most_o if_o not_o all_o understand_v but_o you_o will_v say_v the_o translator_n be_v subject_a to_o mistake_v and_o err_v or_o worse_o be_v no_o prophet_n and_o if_o they_o do_v understand_v the_o hebrew_n yet_o sith_o they_o can_v not_o come_v by_o the_o first_o original_a copy_n they_o must_v needs_o have_v recourse_n to_o some_o transcribe_a copy_n whether_o the_o church_n be_v to_o repair_v to_o translation_n or_o to_o transcribe_a copy_n all_o come_v to_o one_o sith_o neither_o transcriber_n nor_o translator_n be_v prophet_n very_o good_a man_n let_v they_o be_v yet_o man_n they_o be_v and_o subject_a to_o error_n may_v i_o speak_v my_o opinion_n i_o think_v when_o christ_n say_v search_v the_o scripture_n he_o mean_v the_o scipture_n translate_v into_o greek_a and_o by_o scripture_n the_o apostle_n mean_v the_o greek_a translation_n which_o tongue_n if_o not_o in_o christ_n time_n yet_o in_o the_o apostle_n time_n in_o a_o manner_n all_o do_v understand_v wherefore_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v be_v give_v by_o inspiration_n and_o be_v profitable_a he_o mean_v it_o be_v profitable_a to_o be_v read_v or_o hear_v read_v in_o the_o greek_a translation_n and_o the_o rather_o be_o i_o of_o this_o mind_n because_o scholar_n do_v know_v that_o the_o new_a testament_n do_v cite_v the_o place_n out_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n according_a to_o the_o greek_a translation_n and_o most_o a_o end_n be_v very_o punctual_a in_o it_o however_o whither_o we_o look_v on_o translation_n or_o transcription_n sith_o the_o first_o table_n write_v by_o god_n himself_o be_v lose_v with_o the_o temple_n and_o the_o original_a greek_a copy_n of_o the_o translation_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v the_o learned_a think_v and_o i_o think_v they_o think_v well_o in_o it_o burn_v by_o julius_n coesars_n army_n when_o they_o fire_v alexandria_n and_o the_o famous_a library_n there_o the_o ephesian_n be_v build_v on_o

how_o can_v we_o build_v on_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n now_o sith_o the_o scripture_n in_o their_o translate_a copy_n be_v not_o free_a from_o all_o possible_a
